Bug Description

On utopic image 45, I can't make the network indicator turn a wifi network off. Tapping the checkbox makes it disappear for a split second, and then it turns itself back on.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Pull down the network indicator and tap a network to connect.
2. After connecting, pull the indicator down again and tap the same network to disconnect.

Expected results: The checkbox will become un-checked and stay that way, and the network will disconnect.

Actual results: The checkbox turns itself back on in a fraction of a second, leaving the device still online.

This behavior also happens in the wifi settings app, with the single difference that the UI doesn't disappear after each tap.

There are four ways to stop the phone from connecting to a particular Wi-Fi network: turn off "Auto-join previous networks", connect to a different network, turn off Wi-Fi altogether, or tell System Settings to "Forget this network" (not yet implemented, bug 1217978).

Tapping the already-connected network, either in the network menu or in System Settings, is not one of these ways. This is a radio list. In any radio list, selecting the currently-selected item leaves it selected.

The problem is that this radio list is being presented using things that look and behave like checkboxes. (Maybe they actually are checkboxes, I can't tell.) This is misleading, because it suggests that the networks are independent boolean options when they are not.
